Troubles

I had Jinx do something a lot of Alphas don't usually do -- take her time! Majesty is free to react in any way to this, I always want her to be sort of a flawed leader and saw an awesome opportunity in this thread to show it. :P

Every Alpha tried to do best by their followers. It was an instinct ingrained in wolves, be they big wolves or small wolves, intelligent wolves or stupid wolves. It was something they couldn't ignore, a requirement of their breed that no amount of defiance could ever erase. Jinx had this same instinct, and spent most of her days patrolling the pack's boundaries, refreshing stale markers and keeping an eye out for any loner or scout that might threaten her comrades.

What Jinx lacked was the trademark need to please her wolves that most Alphas had. Most other Alphas made every attempt to heed their members' summons with as much speed as they could muster, presumably to look dependable and trustworthy. On the other hand Jinx, flexing her imaginary muscles and exercising her rank as superior, chose to take her sweet time in answering Majesty, if only to see what the response might be.

Still, she did slowly make her way to Neverwinter Forest and found him after what must have been an agonizingly long wait, thanks to her general lack of punctuality. Rather than approaching in any dignified fashion, the female took an uncharacteristically casual approach: she paced nearer to her chocolate-brown Zeta, pressed her shoulder against the trunk of the nearest tree, and quipped a short, “'sup?”
